Hey everyone,
Just thought I'd tell you all that I just ordered my arb deluxe front bumper and it goes on next week
I'm soo happy. Can't wait to turn my tell thread into a show thread as well. Northridge hooked me up yet again. Thanks Dave!

Ordered mine Monday from Dave at Northridge. Looking forward to getting it on (hopefully) this weekend. We'll see. Only problem is once I get the bumper on then I'll need a winch, and then stiffer coils, and then, and then... You get the picture.

Welcome to the club, there are quite a few of us who run ARB bumpers. When you get a winch and if you ever want to upgrade to synthetic, the ARB may not be the best choice.

It may be because the winch sits back from the front of the bumper a bit and could perhaps cause rubbing on the line at an extreme sideways pull. Simple solution is to add a roller fairlead with rollers for synthetic line. I will probably do the same with mine as I live in Cali where a front license plate is required and without a roller fairlead the license plate keeps tilting back on the hinge mount.
Don't be discouraged however, the ARB bumper is awesome, you will not be disappointed.
Do be prepared for a very large box on a large pallet to arrive at your front door.

I run plastic rollers on my hawse, but would have liked to have the option of running a low profile billet fairlead.
Don't get me wrong, i LOVE my ARB, and I'm sure you will too!
